Key Features

Design Style
Brooklyn features a modern, urban aesthetic popular with apparel and fashion brands. The design is clean with bold header imagery and grid-based product layouts. While visually appealing, it lacks the flexibility and performance of modern 2.0 themes.
Performance Tips
As a legacy 1.0 theme, Brooklyn's performance is limited by older architecture. Expect scores 10-20 points lower than equivalent 2.0 themes. Consider migrating to Dawn or Refresh for significant performance improvements.
